Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Qin Xiaowu is ruthless to others, and even more to himself!

Josh clearly heard the sound of the phone dropping on the floor.

But Su Wang seemed to not have heard it.

He walked up nonchalantly and sat down on the stool.

The middle-aged man looked down and saw the phone that had fallen at his feet, stunned for a good while.

He seemed slow to react, slowly bending over to pick up the phone.

The grime on his hand smeared onto the clean phone. He even used his clothing to wipe the phone.

Then, he slowly walked to Su Wang.

"Young man, this is your phone. It fell."

The man spoke with a thick accent, not sounding like a native of the Capital City.

His Mandarin was even less standard than Josh’s.

Seeing his phone in the dirty, grimy hand of the middle-aged man with open wounds, Su Wang frowned.

He snatched the phone from the man.

"It’s dirty!"

Su Wang retorted with distaste, using napkins from the table to wipe off the grime.

Josh’s anger flared after witnessing this scene.

What a bully this guy was!

Before he could unleash his anger, Su Wang pulled out some bills from his pocket and stuffed them into the man’s hand.

"We’re even. Don’t expect me to repay you equally for picking up my phone. Take the money and get lost!"

Looking down at the bills in his hand, the middle-aged man blinked and quickly returned the money.

"I don’t want your money."

"What?" Su Wang glared at him, "You think it’s not enough?!"

"No, no..."

The man seemed honest and was obviously frightened by Su Wang.

Just as he was about to explain, the owner came out from the house.

The owner placed the change in front of Su Wang.

"Brother Wang, here’s your change."

Su Wang grabbed the change without a glance, stuffing it into his pocket.

He nodded at Shen Ran, Li Zilan, and Josh: "Let’s go!"

Josh stood up, looking at the middle-aged man standing in front of the table with hesitation on his face.

Li Zilan, seeing this, urged him on: "What are you looking at? Let’s go!"

Josh was dragged away from the food stall.

"Hey, you have money, hurry up and pay. The total is sixty-three yuan!"

"This is not my money."

"It’s in your hands, how is it not your money? Pay quickly."

"This really isn’t mine..."

"Are you trying to deny the bill?"

Jin heard the conversation between the middle-aged man and the owner.

Josh looked back.

The middle-aged man stood helplessly in front of the owner, clutching several hundred-yuan bills in his hand.

The boss, demanding payment, didn’t actually make a move for the money.

"Alright, stop looking."

Shen Ran looped an arm around Josh’s shoulders and led him forward.

Josh looked back, feeling somewhat despondent, a sense of melancholy creeping up within him.

He brushed his face and asked, "Where are we going?"

Su Wang in the lead, replied without turning, "You’ll know when we get there."

The group of four arrived at a small supermarket.

Inside the cashier’s booth sat a young man and an elderly woman stood outside.

Before entering the supermarket, Li Zilan asked Josh, "Do you need to buy anything?"

"No."

Josh shook his head, still in a bit of a daze.

Su Wang, Li Zilan, and Shen Ran headed for the shelves to pick out what they wanted to buy.

Jin stood alone by the cash register, waiting.

"Granny, do we still recharge with fifteen hundred this time?"

The young man sitting inside the cashier’s booth asked.

The old woman five steps away from Josh, nodded with a smile: "Yes, fifteen hundred. Nannan in college is already being very thrifty with fifteen hundred a month."

The old woman pulled out an old blue cloth from her pocket, unveiling the money wrapped inside.

Josh stood with his hands in his pockets, leaning lazily on the cash register.

Hearing their conversation, he glanced casually at the elderly woman.

He saw her hand wrapped in blue cloth, holding a colorful mix of spare change - one yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, even fifty-cent paper notes and steel coins.

There was not a single hundred yuan note among them.

The young man at the cash register stood up, taking these coins and notes with both hands.

He patiently counted the loose change.

Josh clearly saw that the man only roughly counted, then said to the elderly woman, "It’s exactly one thousand five hundred. I’ll transfer it to your granddaughter now."

"Ah, good, with this money Nannan won’t go hungry."

The old woman’s eyes were practically squinting from smiling so hard.

Her eyes barely visible as she talked and laughed fondly about her granddaughter.

That kind of happiness came from her heart.

Josh heard pride and satisfaction in her voice.

He thought, this girl named Nannan must be a diligent child who managed to get out of West City through her own hard work and studying.

One had to study in order to really leave West City, to escape from the boggy abyss of West City where the future is unseen.

The young man transferred the money to the girl named Nannan using his phone.

He also showed the old woman, "Granny, I’ve transferred the money to Nannan."

"Very good, very good, thank you, thank you..."

A message arrived on WeChat with a notification sound.

"Nannan sent a voice message, let’s hear it."

The young man played the voice message, moving the phone closer to the old woman.

"Grandma, I have received the money. Don’t forget to send it again next month, otherwise, I’ll go hungry."

The girl’s voice was well behaved and quite sweet to hear.

"Alright, alright, next month grandma will send money to Nannan. If it’s not enough, just tell grandma."

While the elderly woman was speaking, the young man held down the voice button and sent the message back.

"Thank you, thank you."

The elderly woman stepped back and bowed in gratitude towards the young man at the cash register.

"Granny, don’t be so formal."

As he was about to step out to help the elderly woman, Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan, came over.

They sandwiched her from the front and back, inadvertently pushing her aside, causing her to straighten her back.

"Check out."

Each one of Su Wang’s group held a bottle of drink in their hands.

After settling the bill, Josh followed the three out of the supermarket.

The four of them entered an abandoned park.

Su Wang sat on a discarded bench, looking up at Josh.

"Kid, what do you think about what just happened back at the food stand and the supermarket?"

"No thoughts."

Josh’s expression was calm, stubborn.

He didn’t want to expose the ripples of emotion stirring in his heart in front of these three people.

Su Wang cracked open the drink and downed half the bottle.

His face was thoughtful, a glimmer of nostalgia in his eyes.

Su Wang hooked the corner of his mouth and told Josh, "Qin Xiaowu, who is your sister-in-law, wasn’t so... wasn’t so ladylike back in her days in West City."

After some pondering, ’ladylike’ was the best word Su Wang could think of.

Josh didn’t understand the sudden shift in conversation towards his sister-in-law.

But he had to admit, he was quite curious about Qin Ruan’s life in West City.

He wanted to know what she was like back then.

Seeing his interest, Su Wang pointed to Li Zilan, leaned against a tree, and grinned.

"Back then, Qin Xiaowu in West City was even more wild than Li Zilan. She could just say ’Hey Daddy, let me take you for a ride’, and she’d have a group of young guys from the same age group following her.

Even though Qin Ruan was a woman, a lot of people still followed her. Do you know why?"

Josh shook his head.

He was still shocked to hear the phrase ’Hey Daddy, let me take you for a ride’ coming from his sister-in-law.

From appearance, she seemed soft-spoken with a quiet disposition, not someone wild.

He couldn’t imagine his sister-in-law, who’s always elegant and calm, saying such words.

He simply couldn’t reconcile the two different images.

If Li Zilan was the one saying these words, he could at least get a sense of the scenario.

Joshs’ disappointment was plainly visible on his face.

Su Wang’s face broke out into a mysterious smile: "Qin Xiaowu was reckless when she fought, merciless to others and even harsher to herself!"

Joshs nodded in agreement.

He had seen his sister-in-law’s ruthless side.
